Don't like to contradict Ed, whose opinions I respect, but I really, really liked _Spiderman_; it's the best movie of its type since the first Superman in 1978: good casting, good screenplay (although it's got flaws and stupid comic-book palaver, too), and the editors spliced away like mothers. Well-paced, too...they get a lot in. And I even got a little choked up at the death of Uncle Ben (not quite a spoiler, it's the central fact about Spiderman's life, if you're at all familiar with it). I saw it twice -- first time through, I thought it was brilliant, and it may not exactly hold up through repeated viewings, but if you ever had any stake at all in Spiderman as a comix-reading kid or now, see it.

If you're into that sort of thing, check out Run C&W. They do bluegrassy versions of classic Stax/Volt Soul and R&B songs. As I recall, the members included ex-Eagle Bernie Leadon, ex-Amazing Rhythm Ace Russell Smith and two other guys. Another great parody band is Big Daddy who do 50s-styled versions of everything from "Hotel California" to "Bette Davis Eyes" to the entire Sgt. Pepper album.

That's pretty much how I feel. I was all excited about "Mule Variations" and found nothing on it that I hadn't heard before, and I tired of it rapidly. It's the only Tom Waits record I've ever sold. So I was wondering if the new albums are the same way. I guess they probably are, but I might pick one up anyway. I should check out "The Black Rider," too. Re. the White Stripes vs. the Strokes - I've had very limited exposure to both, but my impression of the Strokes was that they were a fun rock n' roll band with a hip record collection, and nothing more. The White Stripes seemed more interesting than that, more varied and imaginative. On the other hand, I've never heard JSBX. I really want to hear "Rain Dogs" right now, by the way... n. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 9 May 2002 13:49:37 -0400 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: he do the police in different voices On Thu, 9 May 2002, Natalie Jane wrote: >> 2.

"The Black Rider" is definitely *different* if that's what you are looking for -- but it is also (in places) kinda like the worst of OTC -- weird bangs and shouts, that bear little resemblance to "music." Incidentally, that's the only Waits record *I've* ever sold. Re: Mule Variations -- I see your point, but, for me, "Big in Japan" -- hearkening back to the SwordfishRainDogsFrank'sWildYears sound makes the disc. Plus, "What Is He Building In There?" is a great mix tape song -- even if it is pretty much a cop of Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz" (if you don't know his stuff, check out "The Best of Word Jazz Vol. 1" or, if you can stand hearing Jerry Garcia's acoustic guitar playing (which I happen to enjoy), check out the Ken Nordine/Jerry Garcia collaboration -- I can't remember the name -- that also has a guest vocal/story by Tom Waits). ============================================================================This e-mail message and any attached files are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) named above.
